摘要： An optical inspection system mounts on a cigarette making machine or like system and detects the presence of bands having irregular widths or spacings. In response to the detection of irregular bands, the optical inspection system instructs the cigarette making machine to reject cigarettes which will be subsequently made from portions of the cigarette paper containing the irregular bands. The optical inspection system includes a sensor which can accommodate different types of cigarette paper and band material having varying reflectance properties. In operation, sensor circuitry detects the range of voltages produced by a sensor detector, and formulates a peak value (or average peak value) for the range of voltages. The circuitry then takes a percentage of this peak value to form a threshold value. This threshold value is compared with the AC signal from the sensor detector. If the AC signal exceeds the threshold, then the circuitry asserts a signal to indicate that a band is present. The output of the sensor is fed to a computer. The computer detects whether the bands detected by the sensor have regular band spacing and width.

摘要： A first stream of contaminated air containing solid impurities including reusable tobacco particles is exhausted from a machine for the making of smokers' products and is caused to pass first through a first filter which separates therefrom all of the impurities, and the thus decontaminated air is caused to pass through a cooler and back to the machine. The separated impurities are caused to pass through a second filter which segregates therefrom the reusable tobacco particles, and such particles are reintroduced into the machine. The first stream of contaminated air can receive a second stream of contaminated air from a second machine, and such second stream is introduced into the first stream ahead of the first filter.

摘要： A method of fabricating cigarettes through a dispensing-type machine and from a predetermined quantity of tobacco leaves selected by a user person. The method comprises storing predetermined quantities of tobacco leaves in hermetically sealed bags wherein the tobacco leaves are prevented from drying out. One or more bags are selected by the user person and inserted, one at a time, in a receiving opening of the machine. The machine cuts the tobacco leaves and provides a predetermined quantity of fine-cut tobacco. The fine-cut tobacco is transferred to a tubing station where the fine-cut tobacco is automatically disposed in cigarette tubes to form cigarettes which are ejected or dispensed for reception by the user.

摘要： The web of tipping paper which is being advanced in a filter tipping machine from a source to the station where the web is subdivided into uniting bands ready for draping around groups of coaxial plain cigarettes and filter rod sections is provided with projecting portions which are at least partially removed by a rotary grinding tool to provide the web with a pattern of perforations which determine the degree of ventilation of the filter cigarettes. The position of the running web relative to the tool and/or vice versa is adjustable in dependency upon one or more parameters of the finished filter cigarettes to thus vary the permeability of the uniting bands when the one or more monitored parameters of the filter cigarettes depart from the desired values.

摘要： A smoking article is provided in which a replaceable tobacco flavor unit containing tobacco flavor material is electrically heated by a set of permanent reusable heaters to evolve flavors or other components in vapor or aerosol form for delivery to a smoker. Each heater heats only a portion of the available tobacco flavor material so that a plurality of individual puffs of tobacco flavor substance can be delivered sequentially to the smoker. The replaceable tobacco flavor unit can also include a filter to reduce the effect of residual aerosol which settles or condenses on the permanent portions of the article and which can result in off-tastes when reheated. A method and apparatus for manufacturing the replaceable tobacco flavor unit is also provided.

摘要： A device for perforating cigarette wrapping material by means of at least one-laser beam, whereby the wrapping material, in the form of a strip, is fed past a focusing head which is supplied with a pulsed laser beam by a laser source and focuses it on to the strip by moving the focused beam in a plane slanting in relation to the traveling direction of the strip; a shutter element, made of material impervious to the laser beam, being used for intercepting and restricting the focused beam to a sector of given shape and size, and so preventing the beam from impinging on given portions of the strip.

摘要： A cigarette rod making machine wherein the flow of loosely intermingled tobacco shreds, tobacco ribs and foreign objects (such as nuts, bolts, pieces of wire and/or particles of plastic material) is classified to segregate the ribs and foreign objects from the shreds. The ribs are thereupon separated from foreign objects in a sifter and are comminuted in a rotary cutter prior to being readmitted into the flow downstream of the classifying location(s). Successive increments of the flow are converted into successive increments of a stream which carries a surplus of shreds and is trimmed for conversion into a filler which is ready to be wrapped into cigarette paper. The comminuted ribs are admitted into the flow at a location such that they are confined in the central portion of the filler.
